We have ads in the top right corner, suggesting we visit mormon.org. Mormonism believes that all church authority died with the apostles and that the gospel wasn't heard again until Joseph Smith Jr. "restored" it. This "restored gospel" is quite a bit different from the one we as Catholics believe. It attempts to portray itself as another Protestant denomination to the unsuspecting. I know advertising is important but do we have to accept advertising from other religions?

Jim.. that's for those that are tired of CM.. Just kidding,, just kidding.. jk. Sorry i really couldn't help that one...just tryin to throw some humor in here. Okay, the real answer is from one of the Staff of CM, and i will paste the response from another Thread below;**"We use Google Double Click with adsense to serve our ads. We have
the strictest filters that google allows. However sometimes ads either
get through due to mis-categorization or some other reason beyond our
control. When you see an ad that you feel is objectionable simple click
on the ad and then copy the URL of the page you land on and send the
link via a help ticket. Our customer service staff that submits the base
URL to a black list in our google account which prevent any future ads
from that domain.

Additionally if you have clicked on a website either intentionally or
by accident they likely set a cookie on your browser (all websites use
cookies) and now you are receiving re-targeting ads. Clearing your
cookies or clearing the specific cookies of certain websites should
prevent those ads from being served to you."

So when we send a help ticket, you need to include the copied URL of the page the ad is on.

I think another thing here, maybe not mentioned is that Search engines/browsers also throw out similar ads to those you may have searched for. So if searching for Catholic.. they're just throwing something else in the mix..not knowing that you specifically are only looking for Catholic match.

Anything else that causes a concern,, please don't hesitate to ask.

Gee, could I suggest a few go over there?

So it just slipped on thru? Just thought I should make you aware of that.Thanks

Nope..we need all our CMers here. Yeah.. stuff pops up all the time. Best you can do is copy and past the URL of the ad, onto a help ticket and send it in. That way the next time that Ad can get flagged.Thanks for the watchful eye.

I run Internet Explorer with scripts disabled, which prevents the ads from displaying. It keeps some other parts of the site from working as well, but I don't care. Apart from that, paid members shouldn't have to look at ads.
